Wedding Insurance - Which one is the best?

We Answered:

Wedding insurance is one of the most important expenses of a wedding, are you people serious!?! Especially in this economic climate, with thousands of businesses going bust everyday. My wedding insurance is through weddingplan and it was £27.50 for my £10,000 budget wedding. And it has already been useful. We had arranged suit hire through a company called 'Greenwoods' which has been put into administration and so have claimed back the £400 i had paid out for suits which would have other wise been lost, had i not took the common sense step of buying wedding insurance. I highly recommend Weddingplan.

God, why do people bother answering if they have no idea what you are talking about!!

Divorce in NJ. Will it go easy?

We Answered:

I don't know how your state is, but if you and your husband can't find common ground as far as what to do with the house, then you may have to sell it. Any thing that is considered community property (that is any thing accumulated during the marriage) will have to be divided between the two. Check with an attorney in your state to find out exactly what that en tales. Also, I think that by the two of you not a having kids, there is a 6 month separation period before you can file for a divorce, if kids were involved then it would be a year. I hope all goes well for you and be BLESSED

What am I to do with the actions of my boyfriend? Please Help! Any advice would be welcome for Morgan and Mike?

We Answered:

This is what we call being used. Because he didn't pay for the college out of his pocket he has no respect for it, and no real knowledge of what it costs. The reason he stayed with you for three years? You were hooking up and he had to do nothing for it. He quit his job and you had no reaction like kicking him to the curb or making him get a job, so he knew he was a push over. Dump the bum, get over him and find someone worthy of your love and affection.

How much was your engagement and wedding ring overall?

We Answered:

I personally think that not only are those rings beautiful, but that you are a very intelligent person and that you two will do fine. I applaud you for understanding that marriage is about love and not getting the biggest ring around. The price that you are going to spend on your ring can only be decided by you and your boo, but I think that you are fine with what you have chosen. Good Luck!

Troy Said:

afraid I might loose my fiancee?

We Answered:

I think you are overly paranoid. You are contributing a lot into the relationship. From your own description, your fiance also seems to be very supportive. You have been together for 4 years, he paid for your education, you are a mom to his daughter, everything indicates a stable and long term relationship. Unless there is something you havent mentioned here (abuse, fighting etc) , you are worrying unnecessarily. You might be feeling depressed due to delay in getting job.

dont suspect him for what your past bfs did. thats unfair.

bf/gfs ?

Bill Said:

Why would man men want to get married these days what is the benefit ?

We Answered:

Love and happiness.... judging by your rant, I doubt marriage is something that you are going to have to deal with. The only difficult thing about marriage is finding the right woman. Luckily for me I found mine.

Just the fact that you took the time to type all that out is kinda sad...

Heidi Said:

How am I supposed to choose between my fiance and my mother?

We Answered:

This may be a bit out there, but are you sure your mom doesn't rely on you too much? It's great when people are close to their moms, but the way you described it almost sounds like you're her sole support system. Does she get together with close friends and have activities to keep her busy? Could she be resisting "letting go", including having you move out and even get married, because she has nothing to replace you with?

If there's any possibility of this sort of thing, you honestly need to shift gears quickly or you're putting your relationship in serious jeopardy. Once you became engaged, your prorities changed, and your first loyalty needs to be with your fiance and any plans the 2 of you decide on together. If you're both tired of waiting for wedding planning, and you're both feeling you need your own place, then this should be what guides your actions. Plenty of people appreciate what their moms have done for them, but still move on to start their adult lives when the time is right.

I know none of this is easy! But when people are in the middle between a spouse and a parent, it's usually within their power to change the situation by realigning priorities. I really think you and your fiance are overdue to start your lives, and you can have a long heart-to-heart with mom where you try to get her to see that this isn't a rejection of her - it's just in the normal course of events.
